An issue with the rails at the 81st Street and Central Park West station forced express trains to run local.
UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — Express trains were forced to run local Monday afternoon on the Upper West Side causing delays on four train lines, the MTA announced.
A problem with the rails at the West 81st Street-Museum of Natural History station was first reported around 1:15 p.m., the MTA said. The rail condition forced A and D trains to run local from 59th Street-Columbus Circle and West 72nd Street to the West 145th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue station in Harlem.
Trains on the A, B, C and D lines were delayed as a result of the service change, the MTA said.
